The 'Cap And Tax' Dead End by Sarah Palin
Washington Post ^ | July 14, 2009 | Sarah Palin

Posted on 07/14/2009 3:26:55 AM PDT by DB9

By Sarah Palin Tuesday, July 14, 2009 There is no shortage of threats to our economy. America's unemployment rate recently hit its highest mark in more than 25 years and is expected to continue climbing. Worries are widespread that even when the economy finally rebounds, the recovery won't bring jobs. Our nation's debt is unsustainable, and the federal government's reach into the private sector is unprecedented. Unfortunately, many in the national media would rather focus on the personality-driven political gossip of the day than on the gravity of these challenges.

The "Comments" are a hoot - typical liberal arrogance & stupidity. As I posted on previous thread...

Liberalism is where Stupidity & Evil meet!

We must move in a new direction.

And at the end, she says:

Yes, we can. Just not with Barack Obama's energy cap-and-tax plan.

I like how's she's co-opting the Rats' favorite slogans and using them against Obama.

Barracuda indeed!

The ironic beauty in this plan? Soon, even the most ardent liberal will understand supply-side economics.

LOLOLOL.

Job losses are so certain under this new cap-and-tax plan that it includes a provision accommodating newly unemployed workers from the resulting dried-up energy sector, to the tune of $4.2 billion over eight years.

Well, given that the Porkulus is creating jobs at a rate of $8,230,000 per job, $4.2 Billion is good for about 510 jobs.

Yeah, that'll cover it!

Dear Governor Palin,
Keep it up. Those that matter don’t listen to the MSM. We don’t buy into the cap&tax scheme; We believe in lower taxes across the board; We believe in locating our own energy sources, drilling for it and supplying it to U.S. And, if the rest of the world needs some of it let them buy it from us (for a small phenomenal fee of course).
I just wish we could do more to get them off your back. Unfortunately, they will not relent no matter what we do, or say. Theirs is the policy of destruction of anything or anyone that does not fit their way of thinking.
So, keep going. Until you prove otherwise, you are the brightest light bulb in the pack.

Around 90 percent of the comments are reactive Palin bashing, devoid of substance or reason.

She’s so inarticulate, unlike Peggy Noonan. And she’s so devoid of ideas, unlike Peggy Noonan.

“She is my Leader”

For now, yes. As I said, until she proves otherwise.
It’s kind of like watching a horror movie. Everything is fine, then all of a sudden, something jumps out at you (ref. Sanford).
It’s getting to the point where they are all guilty until proven innocent.

All the angry liberal weenies are rushing to respond as I write. She is going to drive the Beltway crowd insane.

Sarah Palin means business. Now the liberals and mediocre-minded Krauthammers of the world will be forced to discuss matters of substance.

Not that they will have the courage or the intellect to actually take the opportunity.

Ridicule has turned on them. They ridicule themselves in refusing to engage debate on real issues, instead chaining themselves to personal attacks, twisted lies, platitudes, vague comments about Palin having to “go home and study,” and most laughable of all installing the intellectual giant Levi Johnston as their spokesperson and sage. Truly, Johnston perfectly represents the intellectual status of contemporary liberals.

Sarah Palin's article:

* Factual
* Insightful
* To the point
* Without hyperbole


"ha-ha-ha, I can't believe she actually mentions
God when the subject is energy!"

"She doesn't even mention a second stimulus package.
Which I am all for...as long as there are some tax cuts!"

"I can't believe she didn't fit her hero, Reagan, in there somewhere!
Hey guys, my hair look ok?"
